The Department of Fish and Game reminds anglers they are required to return their 2011 Fishing Report and Restoration Cards by Jan. 31.
Information collected from report cards provides DFG with data to monitor and manage California’s diverse recreational fisheries.
Report cards are due for sturgeon, abalone, spiny lobster and north coast salmon fisheries, as well as the steelhead fishery.
Information specific to the steelhead report cards can be found in DFG’s Dec. 23 news release at http://cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2011/12/23/steelhead-report-cards-due-by-jan-31-2012/.
Please note that although steelhead report card information can now be submitted online, DFG still requires salmon, sturgeon, lobster and abalone cards to be returned via mail or in person at a DFG counter.
Anglers are requested to review their cards carefully and complete the information as accurately as possible. More information about report cards can be found at www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/fishing/sportfishingfaqs.html (see “Validations and Report Cards”).
The cards can be dropped off at any DFG license sales office (see list at http://www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/officelocation.html) or mailed to the following addresses:
Sturgeon Report Cards should be mailed to:
DFG - Sturgeon Report Card
P.O. Box 944209

You are required to report even if you lost your report card or you did not fish. If you did not fish, write “did not fish” across your report card and return it to the address specified.
If you lost your report card, write a note to DFG explaining the loss. Include your name, address, telephone number, GO ID (from your sport fishing license or report card) and to the best of your recollection, your harvest/catch effort information that was on your report card.
Please note that license sales agents cannot accept report cards.

The Aces were edged out by Upper Lake 28-27 at Haverty Field in Clearlake.
Perhaps a new rivalry was created during the second game when previously winless Kelseyville beat the previously undefeated Robinson Warriors in their first head-to-head match up in league history with a score of 33-26.
The Mobb Squad had a bye this weekend, but are “anxious” to get back into the action next week, roughly paraphrasing their team captain.

OROVILLE, Calif. – Join Department of Fish and Game (DFG) naturalists for a tour of North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve near Oroville this spring. Tour leaders and local field experts will point out and discuss the area’s unique geology, beautiful vistas, spectacular wildflower blooms, rare vernal pools and more.
North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve is open year-round from dawn to dusk.
Hiking and bird watching are popular activities but the wildflower viewing can be stunning.
Wildflower season generally begins in late February through March, with peak blooms in April. However, the season and intensity of wildflower booms can vary highly from year to year.
Two tours will be offered every Saturday in March and April, one at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Each tour is limited to 25 participants.
Advance registration is required on the DFG Web site at www.dfg.ca.gov/lands/er/region2/northtable.html.
These tours were extremely popular in 2011, so early registration is recommended. Additional information and photos can also be found on the website.
These two-hour tours cover up to two miles and involve moderate hiking over fields of uneven and rocky terrain, without established trails. Some small stream crossings and hill climbing may be required.
Hikers should wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes and bring their own water and snacks, as neither are available onsite. Dogs are not allowed on these tours. Before you visit please review the “Special Restrictions” listed on the Web site.
The tours are free, but registrants are encouraged to make a donation online to the California Wildlife Foundation to support this program.
If you are unable to register online or need more information, call DFG Interpretive Services at 916-358-2869.
